All my life I knew them as Nehru jackets: Omar tweets after Moon Jae-In thanks Modi
New Delhi, Oct 31 (IBNS): Ex-Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Wednesday sarcastically questioned the labeling of jackets sent by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to South Korean President Moon Jae-in as 'Modi Jacket'.
Omar said in his life he knew these jackets as 'Nehru jackets'.
And sarcastically concluded by saying 'nothing existed in India before 2014'.
It’s really nice of our PM to send these but could he not have sent them without changing the name? All my life I’ve known these jackets as Nehru jackets & now I find these ones have been labelled “Modi Jacket”. Clearly nothing existed in India before 2014. https://t.co/MOa0wY37tr

"It’s really nice of our PM to send these but could he not have sent them without changing the name? All my life I’ve known these jackets as Nehru jackets & now I find these ones have been labelled “Modi Jacket”. Clearly nothing existed in India before 2014," Omar tweeted.
The fresh issue was triggered hours after South Korean President Moon Jae-in thanked Narendra Modi for sending him the jackets.
The Modi jacket is a vest-like jacket which the Indian Prime Minister is often seen wearing.
Moon also uploaded images of himself wearing the jacket in the official Twitter page of the President.
During my visit to India, I had told the Prime Minister @narendramodi that he looked great in those vests, and he duly sent them over, all meticulously tailored to my size. I would like to thank him for this kind gesture. pic.twitter.com/wRgekJSW16
